Chapter 517: Plotting the Protagonist

In fact, Lin Xiao understands very well that the protagonist of this film is not a person at all.

The film was heavily criticized by public opinion from all walks of life in South Korea, but due to Bong Joon-ho's popularity, it attracted the participation of all the top masters of Korean high-tech technology.

Being able to participate in such a film is undoubtedly an important step to broaden your horizons and integrate into the Asia-Pacific region.

In particular, the special effects of the dragon are the elite of the special effects exclusive company ILM of George Lucas, and the works of this studio not only have the predecessor of "2012" "The day after tomorrow". "More Sin City, Harry Potter. And the visual director Kevin. Lafferty even has the golden resume of "Jurassic Park" and "Men in Black". Even the New Zealand team WETA, which specializes in the "protagonist" - the monster, has such heavy and terrifying materials as "Lord of the Rings" and "King Kong".

The total investment is more than 40 million US dollars! Nearly 300 million sky-high RMB!

In other words, it will take at least more than one billion yuan to get back!

"Male protagonist ......" Jonny fell, and only said after a while, "I'm sorry, I haven't decided yet......"

"Still, Mr. Lin...... Did you read the script before you finished it? ”

He had a trace of contempt for Lin Xiao, and he wanted the male lead without reading the script, obviously in order to quickly enter the Korean market, and set his sights on Bong Joon-ho's name.

He's read the script.,It's true that the invisible protagonist of this book is a monster.,But on the bright side,It's still the man named Park Kang-dou.。

was cowardly at the beginning, but for the sake of the strength of his family, this kind of person obviously wants to be played by a Korean national treasure artist, how can he give it to Lin Xiao?

Even if you don't say it, you have basically decided that Song Kang-ho has already cooperated.

The only regret is that Bong Joon-ho did not nod, and in the role given, Park Kang-doo's age is not clear, just "unemployed youth." ”

Lin Xiao quickly turned over the script.

Slowly, he immersed himself.

The script is no different from the movies that were famous at home and abroad in the previous life, but this is the backbone, and there are still many gaps in small details.

Even he saw a lot of plots, characters, that he didn't have originally.

He thought about it, too, it's only early 04 now, and there is still at least a year and a half before the start of this film, Bong Joon-ho may have just revealed that he has this idea, and the script has just come out, and the huge amount of money is exchanged for 100 won according to 1 US dollar, and the 0 behind the investment in this drama may make Xijie Entertainment, which has just cooperated with murderous memories, unable to do it.

And it is a painstaking job to contact the highest quality CG team, the model team, and the large-scale vassal industry of these films.

In his memory, the second part that started filming in 09 has not been seen for 13 years.

The reason why he dared to ask the male protagonist is because this movie has almost refreshed most Korean film records, and most of the media reported that the protagonist chose the Chinese in the second film! Huayi's William!

This side reflects the fact that Bong Joon-ho is at least not the kind of director who is not a XX artist.

After these preparations, although the script is still an approximate part, but when it comes to the follow-up horror work, it is not as mature as Hollywood's film system, and the preparation for a year and a half is really not too long.

He was ostensibly watching, but in fact he had recalled the big things he could almost remember.

At the same time, he also asked in his mind about the score of the script.

"Two and a half stars." The cold voice of the system sounded, "The finished version is three and a half stars." ”

Can a three-and-a-half-star script reach such heights? Lin Xiao was puzzled.

As if seeing his doubts, the system went on to explain, "The reasons for Lu's success are too complicated. But it is inseparable from his first large-scale investment 'alien' film. Not only South Korea, but also Asia, not China. It can be regarded as the first of its kind in Asia. Korean fans have this mentality, Chinese and Japanese fans also have this mentality, plus the script is not bad, the special effects team is almost perfect, and the artists play well, so they naturally succeed. This success is hard to replicate. ”

"This is different from your painting skin, the Chinese New Year stall is the most important period in every country, especially Japan and South Korea, where Chinese culture is spread. If you can enter the top three of the Lunar New Year file, it is equivalent to opening a crack in the country, and the significance is far more important than Lu. However, it is to deepen the impression of the two countries. A chance to escape a director's curse. The meaning of the two is completely different. ”

Lin Xiao asked reluctantly, "There are no side quests?" ”

"Lu, there are no side quests for the supporting characters." The system replied coldly.

Lin Xiao's spirits perked up.

In other words, if you want to open a side quest, you need to be the protagonist?

He touched his chin, this identity is extremely difficult to take...... To get the leading role, he will face South Korea and Choi Min-sik, one of the troikas tied by Xue Jingqiu, South Korea's recognized "god of acting," and now he has no certainty.

He still remembers that he once watched the acting skills of the other party's starring "The Defender," and he was shocked at the time. I asked myself, he can't reach this point now, and the artists he has seen are probably on par with Wang Zhiwen.

Playing against Wang Zhiwen, who broke out in full swing? Just thinking about it made his blood boil, and the black ice made a deep impression on him.

After a while, he put down his notebook and nodded, "I'm done." ”

"What is Mr. Lin's opinion?"

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Very interesting film, but there is one thing I have to bring up." ”

"Mr. Lin, please speak."

It seems that Director Bong intends to make a real sci-fi monster like Hollywood. Since the appearance of the alien, the world has called it an 'alien' movie. ”

Jonny nodded.

"In this kind of movie, a good alien is very important, and it can even affect the whole film. He looked at Jonny and said, "Fengdao, is there such an awareness?" ”

"If you don't do it, once you do it well, this can be crowned as the first special-shaped film in Asia." He stared at Jonny, not allowing the other to think about it.

"Does he have the consciousness to invest big?"

"Does he have the consciousness to be a pioneer?"

Jonny was stunned, he didn't think so deeply, the trace of contempt he had just made had disappeared without a trace at this moment.

"This has nothing to do with Mr. Lin, right?"

"Why not?" Lin Xiao smiled and said, "If he has it, I can go to South Korea to audition as soon as this film is finished!" If not, then why should I lower my price to make it priced abroad? ”

"I can guarantee that as soon as my movie came out, its value immediately increased! I didn't have to take that risk. ”

Although his heart was already full of excitement, his face was not happy.

"This ......" Jonny hesitated, this was the director's question, and it was not his turn to ask.

"In this way, Mr. Lin, this film is still in the embryonic form, and I have just started to search for artists, so I will discuss it with Director Feng first when I go back?"

Lin Xiao nodded quietly and asked, "May I ask, how many movie stars in China have entered your scope?" ”

"Liang Chaowei, Wu Yanzu." Jonny didn't hide it, "But the final decision, in Bongdao, I can only provide advice, but I can't make a final decision." ”

"Yes." Lin Xiao smiled and shook his hand, "I hope Mr. Jonny can help me bring the words." ”

Holding hands, Jonny also smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, my trip to China this time is more urgent, and I plan a two-day trip in Pingshan, because I know that I can't catch up with you when you get into the car, so I squeezed into the reporter team and delayed your interview." ”

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Why, this matter is also very big in foreign countries." ”

"Not small." Jonny nodded, "Every country must have a version that introduces the entertainment industry of other countries, and any country is." In the past few days, your news can be regarded as the headline of that edition. ”

After chatting for a while, the car drove to the city, and Jonny found a place to get out of the car. And the bloody romantic crew is about to drive to the former revolutionary site of Yangjiagou in Mizhi County, Shaanxi.

It's not the same over there as here, and you can't see a few loess slopes, caves, and trees through the crack.

"How is Qin Ling's character?" On the plane, Lin Xiao and Teng Wenyi passed the time.

"Alright." Teng Wenyi closed his eyes and replied, "I originally liked Wang Like, and this time the matter happened to let Wang Like go." In addition, there is a signal over there, but there is no place to call the phone like here. ”

Soon, the plane landed at Xi'an Airport, and after a transfer all the way, it was already ten o'clock in the evening when it arrived in Yangjiagou.

After the things were moved to the predetermined house, everyone went to bed.

The next filming is not difficult, almost most of the newcomers have appeared Lian Yimin, Zhang Chun's scene, Lin Xiao needs to teach it personally, but in addition to these, the entire crew is proceeding in a neat and orderly manner.

The time, in this case, came to the end of March.

At this time, the entire film industry was in a sensation.

Hong Kong's Xinghui Overseas broke out Zhou Xingchi's second movie, Kung Fu.

There is no need for other movie stars to join, he is the biggest movie star himself.

Countless newspapers and magazines began to sing praises for kung fu, and Hong Kong's entertainment magazines and TV stations desperately followed up on the report.

Lin Xiao looked at the TV and didn't say anything.

The rumor gave Feng Xiaogang, he also had this idea, so he wanted the rumor to go to the film meeting with this film known as "a tribute to Hong Kong films".

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have time, he would have wanted to go into battle in person.

This is the only Chinese film that has entered the global TOP500, ranking more than 400. Maybe this ranking is not surprising, but around it, there are great white sharks, demons like the original Batman.

He sighed secretly, kung fu, he still hasn't gone out of the world, and he lacks the world box office, so he can only tie with the early Hollywood movies.

And Zhou Xingchi is also very aware of his advantages and disadvantages, he does not want to go to the world at all, and the huge Chinese market is enough to feed him and his company.

Another thing that surprised him a little was that Zhou Xingchi personally called and invited him to play a supporting role in kung fu.

This is a promise made by the two in 01, no matter what Zhou Xingchi's character is, at least he is a person who keeps his promises.

Lin Xiao agreed without hesitation, if he guessed correctly, he naturally played the role of the leader of the Axe Gang, which is one of the extremely important supporting roles, and Kung Fu, as a classic masterpiece with an income of 180 million, exceeding the original 40 million in the second place in the world this year, will undoubtedly raise his value again.
